I don't think Allen will be ready to start yet but I agree on your other changes, though it would be harsh on Binks to drop him.

I would like Lati central in place of Fadz ,with Binks and Thomas either side against Huddersfield.

Disagree, Decent championship player. Can't decide if he can go further.

Hes is spectacularly uncomfortable on the ball for a CM. I like a lot of what he does but his pass execution is often poor as well. Certainly better than Kelly but not good enough to hold a Championship midfield IMO.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Two lightweight AMs (neither of whom naturally play in that position) plus Godden alone up front doesn’t fill me with confidence.

It’s a bizarrely makeshift side for a team that’s spent ~£20 million in transfer fees this summer.

I'd say the team we have been playin recently is more makeshift.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I don't give a fuck how much has been spent and what has happened. The points on the board will be all that matters at the end of the season.

Hopefully that'll be at least 50.

 

[Matt smith]

Sooner sheaf Allen and o hare are in the same midfield I’ll be happy

 

[Macca]

There has been a massive upheaval, 14 out 10/11 in. Main two match winners gone etc etc. Still think a lot of the new lads will come good

Yep and I have faith in him but I think he’s under more pressure now

 

[coop]

The problems were all over the place. 3 terribly soft goals conceded, midfield giving possession away for fun and the forwards may as well not have been there.

You cannot concede that freely and expect to get anything from the game. Maybe it'll persuade Robins that bringing everyone back for the corner is a waste of time.

Never understand bringing everyone back for corners just creates havoc. Leave two up top then they will leave 3 back .

From the "Unpopular opinion" thread....

Don’t say that

 

[DrPoolittle]

Given the evidence, best we dont spend anything in January

As long as Godden gets plenty of support (which I think he would) I wouldn't mind seeing this next game

Swap Ayari and Allen for me

 

[pusbccfc]

Simms hasn’t really been given a proper chance and should absolutely be starting next game. As our record signing, Wright doesn’t look great so far.

He wouldn't look great if his name was Maxime, Martyn or Amadou.

Spot on. Some managers just can’t cope with additional funds. When you have a limited budget, you spend wisely

 

[CCFCSteve]

Cant make a transfer appear that doesn’t exist. Looks like we got absolutely bum raped on Kitching so fuck knows what we’d have paid for what if we’d tried to get anyone in above all else. Hopefully we have something liked up for Jan.

20 mins into his city career…a new record

 

[shmmeee]

Just tell him he’s only got £1m to spend.

It’s catch 22 - we desperately need a box to box midfielder, but you can’t trust Robins with anymore money

 

[jordan210]

Wright seems to a player that needs through balls to run on to. Palmer has the vision for the passes, just don't see it enough. When O'Hare's back, driving at pace and slipping him in, I reckon that's when he comes good. If he had Hamer supplying him....

yup, wrights strengths seam to be running on to through balls. Not just pumping it at him.

As our midfield is so poor atm it’s just getting by past. So feeding of scraps

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Never understand bringing everyone back for corners just creates havoc. Leave two up top then they will leave 3 back .

We had what looked like 5 of our own players zonally marking the 6 yard box and just allowing opposition players free headers anyway. It needs binning ASAP.

Isn't just him but the newly appointed recruitment team

 

[Marty]

Agree with the consensus, think Robins could potentially be gone by the end of next month if he doesn't turn this round. The fans will turn soon, can't expect fans to spend all this money and get this shit in return, they don't even look like half of them are professionally footballers. Shocking stuff.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Good luck attracting any new players in January if this shite continues.

There is absolutely no chance Robins is sacked by the end of October under any circumstances.

 

[shmmeee]

Best I can do:

Wilson
Lats Fadz Binks
MvE Eccles Ayari Dasilva
Allen Sakamoto
Godden

And there’s probably only two there I’m certain about.

 

[hill83]

Don't know what you have seen in Thomas or Kitching to put them ahead of Latibeaudiere or Binks.

Get Ponticelli on

 

[Matt smith]

Wilson

How poor is that

simms and Wright don’t play

not you @shmmeee

the recruitment

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Don’t want to see Godden alone up front.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

He has accumulated a lot of credit in the bank. Though he seems to have converted it into cash and spent all of it this summer

End of November then

Why? He was alone tonight

Given a blank slate I’d have Simms over Godden but you can’t drop the division top scorer

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

We seemed to chase around for Kitching when we desperately needed a midfielder at the deadline there must be midfielder s out there for a few million

 

[oscillatewildly]

Da silva is useless

Try it with some salt and a slice of lime.

 

[DrPoolittle]

Best I can do:

Wilson
Lats Fadz Binks
MvE Eccles Ayari Dasilva
Allen Sakamoto
Godden

And there’s probably only two there I’m certain about.

Although thinking about it, maybe switch with Allen with Ayari

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

His movement outside of the box isn’t good enough

 

[Dickie]

Oggy said we’re okay in midfield. Jesus wept.
